There is a database online at http://www.sos.la.gov/tabid/633/Default.aspx. Maybe you can find Daniel and Annie&#39;s marriage record there and then order a copy. I believe it&#39;s only $5 or so for a copy. Unfortunately, you are spot on about the Louisiana birth records. You will have much more luck looking in Catholic church records around Cheneyville.

Your work is detailed on the level of a dissertation. Anyone who thinks that getting into the DAR is a &quot;piece of cake&quot; or anywhere near easy, has only to read this blog of yours. I love the fact that you have both a Patriot and a Loyalist line. Parsing out these research choices and these proofs would drive some people bonkers, but it sounds as if you are enjoying it. This is your &quot;metier.&quot; Congrats!Mariann Reganhttp://mariannregan.authorsxpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-26206280076061042122012-12-20T12:42:00.595-06:002012-12-20T12:42:00.595-06:00Deborah, thanks for the recommendation.

However, they don&#39;t have my grandmother&#39;s death certificate because she died 19 years ago and they only have them available through 1986.<br /><br />But that is a great resource, and I, too, have found many death certificates there. =)<br /><br />~CCaroline Pointerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02440331516671118735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-4391905964510745352012-12-20T12:36:58.887-06:002012-12-20T12:36:58.887-06:00Thanks, Laura!

However, if they have it on microfilm, I wonder if it&#39;s the same as what&#39;s available through the Family History Library because Council Bluffs is not included. But I&#39;ll look into it. Thank you! =)<br /><br />~CCaroline Pointerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02440331516671118735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-15281314072823923132012-12-20T12:27:21.759-06:002012-12-20T12:27:21.759-06:00Caroline,
Your grandmother&#39;s death certificat...Caroline,<br /><br />Your grandmother&#39;s death certificate may be on FamilySearch.org under the Texas Death Certificates 1977-1986. They are not completely indexed yet but I have found several of them when knowing the county and month they died.<br /><br />Great post.Deborah Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05007273108314789315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-70161024951011656632012-12-20T12:13:38.955-06:002012-12-20T12:13:38.955-06:00Not Louisiana, but the folks at the Pottawattamie ...Not Louisiana, but the folks at the Pottawattamie County Iowa Genealogical Society were recently quite helpful to me: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iapcgs/Laura Mackinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610655125390402869.post-70271753203601909312012-12-20T12:08:27.584-06:002012-12-20T12:08:27.584-06:00*snort* Thanks, Sheri! =)
